Anyone on a Diet???

[MrsGwaihir]

When I started walking again for the first time in a long time my doc advised to take it slow. I think that was good advice because it didn't put any pressure on me to go farther than I could. I had all kinds of problems at first. My feet hurt my knees hurt but evetually there was a breakthru. I wish you much success and great health.

Excellent advice. It could become discouraging and then it becomes very easy to quit.

I started riding my bike but have not been doing it every day like I should and I walked/ran (more walking then running) on the treadmill 2 days ago. At least I'm trying I just need to stay with it.

P.S. 4 slices of angel food cake last night probably didn't help.

The angelfood cake could be a problem (unless it's chocolate of course, just kidding) Trying is good and if you keeptrying you will succeed.

Angel food cake is so light that it probably didn't count, and besides, if you were standing up when you ate it, that certainly didn't count!

Mommysue should write a diet book. It would sell millions

Hello there
I just got my report from my Doctor on my check-up and bloodwork. All my blood work was good. She was pleased with my loss of weight and my triglycirides was normal. I contribute it to exercising and eating right. Most of the time anyhow. I do fall back occasionally. I mostly give the glory to the lord for helping me with it. I could not do it alone. He gets the GLORY!

Yeah Val - Yes I think it's beginning to be evident in your character

I want to lose 40lbs , how are you losing your weight? as we get older seems to get harder to lose weight. I had no weight problem until I started getting older. Dr wants me to lose 40lbs to help my back after my surgery .also have a very bad hip have bad arthritis.

I would suggest that you read this entire thread from the beginning. There are some good suggestions there. Not everyone responds the same to diet techniques but I can tell you how I lost my weight. You would probably would be well advised to find out from your doctor what you can and cannot tolerate as far as fasting type diets go. Your particular medical condition may prohibit certain diets. Approach anything that adjusts your nutrional habits with caution!!!

I'll help all I can but I can only tell what has worked for me.

Hello to all my fellow diet and exercise trying friends. I am still riding my bike at least 4 times a week, sometimes more for 6 to 9 miles. I don't think I have lost any weight yet or that I can tell. I don't own a scale I just judge by how my clothes fit. I hate watching scales. Hugs to you all.

That's a good one, Larry.

Losing weight when you have physical problems that prevent exercise is very difficult. The best thing to do is cut back on portion sizes and eat a little less of everything. It is just a very difficult thing to do.

 

[mom_one]

I like all your good ideas I am going to try some of them,,,,,I am going to start tommorrow, so wish me luck,I have to lose 40lbs. & thank you all for your recipes & etc

Praying for you, Mom_one and also praying for all the Eagles who face the struggle of weight and exercise issues. Thanking the Lord for the good health that many of us have, asking Him for guidance, courage and strength to maintain these wonderful temples He has seen fit to provide for us. Blessings and to all. Each day when I awaken, I ask for wisdom in dealing with whatever issues, needs, difficulties that may arise through the day. We need to be wise and loving to our own bodies and remember that every day we start anew and every day we need to renew our commitments to take good care of ourselves.

Well, fellow lovers of good food, I'm hanging in here and a teensy bit at a time, some of that nasty ole fat is beginning to fade. OHHHHH, its not the easiest thing in the world, and I surely get discouraged, but I keep plodding along. In my never ending quest to figure out how to get in better shape (or at least to arrive at better numbers on the scales ), I've finally figured out my portion sizes must still just be too big. I found this information yesterday and thought I'd share it. Now I'm using my ice cream scoop to measure out my veggies and I'll have to buy myself a deck of playing cards to measure out my meats:

If you'll watch the slide show, you'll see what I mean. WOW -- I'm really eating too much!! I'll start by cutting down about 1/3 and work from there until I can get it down more. Meanwhile any of you who are struggling like me, please know you're in my prayers. With God's help and some self control, we'll all be the Fit Golden Eagles!!!
